Do you need Forex trading software? Perhaps not, especially if you have all the time in the world, you can allocate hour upon hour to analyze the factors that can affect a single Forex trade with currency pairs, and you are satisfied with making as many as ONE trade per day, as well as not having the information readily at hand to let you know when to buy at the right time, or just as importantly, when to sell at the right time.
Without meaning to sound facetious, that is a pretty good description of what it is like for a Forex trader to attempt to assess and evaluate the truckloads of data that have an impact on a country's currency at any given point in time. Almost regardless of how good you may be at Forex trading and how well you understand the Forex market, there is just not enough hours in the day anyway to make the most effective use of your time as a serious Forex trader if you do not employ technology and Forex software to help you.
When you are evaluating which of the many Forex trading software programs available, the first piece of advice is not to choose a package that locks you in to a particular Forex broker. While the software may be good and meet all your needs, you still have a major "single point of failure" if that broker goes under or decides to close his doors for whatever reason. If the software is proprietary or locks you into that particular broker, you are hosed if that broker goes away.
One of the more obvious things to consider is the security and/or the encryption capabilities of the software. This is critically important, especially if you are using the type of Forex trading software that does the complete transaction on your behalf. You need to have this type of financial data encrypted to avoid the possibility that the transaction will be intercepted as it is transmitted to the Forex broker.
When you have chosen a program, start using it to become familiar with what it does, and just as importantly, what it does NOT do. Do not start making actual trades with it until you have learned the software well enough to understand what it is telling you or what it is advising you to do. Become familiar with the different pieces of data that it is gathering for you and understand how it is making its evaluations and recommendations.
One of the things that you need to remember is that any Forex trading software is just another tool in your Forex trading toolbox. There is no single tool in that toolbox that is going to have all the answers for you. Your job in becoming a successful Forex trader is to learn to get the inputs of all the necessary tools at your disposal and combine the information such that you can make intelligent and informed trades. That still does not mean you will never make a losing trade, since even the most successful Forex traders make an occasional losing trade, but you will learn how to minimize your losses and above all, to maximize your gains and revenue.
